What do I think makes a photograph great? That is actually a harder question to answer than most people would think. When it comes to making and creating a great photograph, there are many things that come into factor with the whole process. With what many will think it is not the printer that makes a great photograph or the camera its self, no it’s the person that is actually looking through the viewfinder at that particular moment in time. Every person that aspires to become the next great photographer thinks they have what it takes to be the best. Well that is true in some sense of the word; every person sees things in a different aspect than the next person. What may look great to one person may not have the same exact effect on the next person. “Every image needs strong underlying compositional order so that it grabs the eye from a hundred feet away.” A great photo has to have something in the image that is going to make the viewer look at it and say something that is going to express the greatness behind your photo that will always be in your mind when you or anyone else ever looks at that photograph. A great photograph is one that will get out there to the right person and will end up being published all around the world. A great photograph will be great to the extreme of a Pulitzer Prize. A photographer knows when they are taking the photograph whether or not that photo is going to be classified as a great photo. A true photographer has the eye to see a great photo as it emerges unlike someone that is just taking photos as a hobby for fun.
